Hi- New Here!

I just found this board after searching for hospital policies at Bozeman Deaconess and am glad I did. I'm a SAHM to DS- 4 in May (born breech/CS) and expecting baby #2 in August (VBAC-hoping for all natural!).

I don't exactly fit into any groups per say, we are practicing (imagine that) Christians but we don't attend church, I practice natural parenting, no spanking, extended breastfeeding, some cosleeping and lots of affection, but am not a baby wearing guru. Plan to homeschool, in fact, I already am- sort of unschooling school. :)

MSU was the school my DH chose to pursue his education at, so we just moved here in January. I'm still getting adjusted to the weather (is it always so windy and gray!?) since I was raised in Southern CA and we spent the last 6 years in several states and spent half a year in New Zealand- we've never experienced this climate before.

Anyways, I'm interested in getting to know other moms who SAH and enjoy their children. It seems really difficult to get to know people to make friends, though we spend a bit of time at the library, dino park, etc.

Would love to meet some like (yet open) minded mamas!

Forgot to mention- DS is on the spectrum so he has social awkwardness which is partly why I am so interested in finding a smaller group to get involved in- he gets overwhelmed in large groups of new people.

I live in Belgrade, I have 3 children, two boys aged 16 and 7 and my daughter will be 2 next month.

Welcome to Montana.

No, it's not usually this gray or this windy, we've had weird weather here all winter.

MSU is a great school; both my husband and I are alumni; what is your husband studying?

I am a New Age Spiritualist and my husband is a non-practicing Methodist. I did EBF and co-sleeping. I also baby wore but not a lot.

I work full time so I am not on the up and up with what kind of social groups are available for SAH parents here; the daycare on campus may have some info for you though! Also, pick up a copy of Montana Parent magazine (it's free), there could be info in there as well!!

Welcome to the group!! I live in Butte and SAH, my dd is 10 months....I have lived here for about 2 years and am just now getting into the community. My husband and I are Christians but have not found a church here in town that we have really liked. We mostly co-slept the first 6 months, I EBF (no pumping or formula), I cook (for the most part lol) all natural and organic!! We are still trying to decide about homeschooling..but we still have a few years to think about that!
